Was Jimmy just lazy?

I’m trying to figure out why he turned out to be such a shit show. Ever since he was hired the football teams social media presence and recruiting fell off a Cliff. Pete was good at keeping the pipeline prettt full and getting commits somewhat regularly. Lake just seemed like he didn’t want to try. I knew we were fucked when he called Cade Otton a 5 star recruit when he decided to come back.

    No, Jimmy wasn't lazy, something that could have racist connotations when used in a questionable conjunction with an African American, far from it. If anything Jimmy was overzealous in his coaching approach leading the program. The social media presence doesn't fall directly on him but the UW athletic department as well since they manage a lot of the social media accounts and media relations as we saw with all of the negative Jimmy Lake stories that kept on coming out in the recent days.

    Jimmy made a very bad decision by hiring the secretarial assistant to the assistant RB coach from Jacksonville in Jon Donovan, a person no one was looking to hire as an OC at any level, as his OC on UW TE coach Derham Cato's recommendation. Then his seemingly refusal to fire him made a lot of people question his leadership abilities aloud.

    Jimmy was one of a very few African American coaches to have a college football head coaching job at the NCAA D1 level and at a power 5 university at that which is a even rarer sight in the NCAA in 2021 https://theundefeated.com/features/even-with-the-recent-push-for-diversity-fewer-black-coaches-getting-top-fbs-head-coaching-jobs/ .

    Jimmy should have surrounded himself with a better qualified staff and that is all on him no one else as he had the power to select his staff. Jimmy may well be very well off financially now but he will most likely never be a NCAA D1 head coach again.

    It’s like when you bag a chick that was hot and seemed like a catch and then later on you find out she is annoying and had a weird past and is actually gross. Pretty sure Jimmy just seemed like a catch because of the nice recruits and good performances the other coaches helped engineer around him. His position group was incredible and a false promise. Turned out he just sucked at most the other stuff and should have never had the chance to run the ship.

    I don't think Jimmy ever learned to work hard at coaching or to become accountable for himself. He basically came up in a very nurturing system where CP and Kwiatowski had the entire system in place. He had it very easy coming up a a coach.

    Evidently not a humble guy. Great at recruiting DBs for somebody else's defense, not great at anything else.

    Jimmy will never be a D1 head coach again.

    Way too many other hungry up and comers out there. Way too many guys like Deon Sanders getting into the action.

    Jimmy will be lucky to end up like Dan Hawkins.

    Jimmy is like your classical millennial with two years of work experience that has mastered their specific job. Thinks because they know how to do the job that they should be running the department and managing people.

    Jimmy doesn’t know how to grind or face adversity. We all saw what happened when he lost his shit on national TV. So yes, he’s entitled, delusional and lazy

    He probably thought he would kick ass right away with the roster he had, and the recruiting would work on its own off of that. He failed to consider that he’s a shitty evaluator of coaching talent, and it cost him.

    He's not a Millennial but I agree with the rest.

    Heard a rumor that he thought they were cake walk their schedule and that his agent was already throwing his name out there in NFL circles as early as June.

    This explains a lot, if true. Sauce?
